What is an Inverter Welder and what are the benefits?
Inverter welders use new silicon based technology to produce thier welding power compared to older style welders that use heavy copper/aluminium tranformers and rectifiers.
Inverters use much smaller transformers, so they are a lot smaller, lighter and more portable.
Inverters use a lot less input power to get the same output power than the older transformer type machines, so they consume a lot less electricity and therefore are greener to run.
Because Inverters output power is controlled electronically, you have infinite power adjustment from 0 - 100% so you can really fine tune these to you needs. On mig welders sometimes setting 2 is not enough power, but setting 3 is too much. You won't get this problem with infinite power control.
Question: Aren't inverter welders un-realiable?
Answer: When inverter welders first came out many years ago, like any new technology they did have thier problems. Nowadays inverter technology is very reliable, cost effective and has many benefits over traditional welders.
At R-Tech we use very reliable 'Eupec (Infineon)' IGBT's and power modules prodcued by American/German companies which are ultra reliable and allow us produce high duty cycle welding equipment. |
